How to Make Disney Bingo Cards with the Kids

Bingo is a fun game that anyone of any age can enjoy. Bingo
can be an especially great game for kids as they can learn their numbers and
useful concentration techniques, as well as about competition and sportsmanship
in games.

The key in playing a bingo game with kids is to make it
appeal to them as much as possible. That’s why we recommend Disney bingo cards,
which are both really fun and easy to make.

The version we are describing is
based on the common 75-ball version, but there are 90-ball and 5-line versions
you could also opt to use. Visit a site like pgbingo.com for more information
on these types of games and how to play.

Firstly, you’ll need to make sure you have access to a PC
and printer, as you’ll be printing off some Disney characters. As well as this,
ensure you have plenty of card, scissors and glue to hand. Pencils or crayons
will come in useful too, and pennies, buttons or tiddlywinks to use as number
covers. On your sheets of paper, draw a 5x5 grid, with enough space at the top
and left hand side. Along the top, write the words BINGO, or if you’re
artistic, you can instead draw 5 different little Disney characters along the
top. The center square should be filled as it’s a free space. You can fill this
with a color, the word BINGO or again a Disney character.

Then you’ll want to number the squares on each card, between
1 and 75 (although you can opt for much lower numbers if playing with smaller
children). Make sure you mix the numbers up on each card so they are not all
the same. Then, you can distinguish each card by printing off pictures of some
Disney characters and gluing them to the space on the left hand side of the
card. For more fun for the kids, print off black and white characters and have
the kids color in their favorite Disney friends.

Before the fun can begin, you’ll need to do one final thing
– print off a set of numbers and cut them out! It’s probably safest to
designate this task to the adult. You could be doing this while the kids are coloring
in. Cut all the numbers into even squares and then put them into a hat or a
bag. They can then be shaken up and called out from there.

The last step before anyone can play is to ensure all
players can cover their numbers. You don’t want the kids using daubers as these
cards are created with the intention of being reusable. That’s why we suggest
using pennies to cover numbers. Each child would only need a handful of
pennies. However if you don’t feel comfortable giving them money, or don’t have
enough change lying around, then you could always use buttons or tiddlywinks,
as they are around the same size and shape that you’d be looking for. If you
don’t have any of these things to hand you could always just cut up some paper
squares, corresponding with the size of each square. And that’s all you need to
make a Disney bingo card with the kids. They’ll now be able to spend hours of
fun playing bingo.
